The Division of South Australia was an Australian Electoral Division that existed from 1901 until 1903. It covered the entire state of South Australia which, unlike most of the other states, had not been split into individual single-member electorates. The Division elected seven members at the first federal election, with each elector casting seven votes. In 1903, the Division was split into seven divisions, each electing a single member.
